Created from Trinitario cocoa grown at the Maralumi plantation on the island of Papua-New Guinea, off the coast of Australia. The cocoa used provides a slight spicy edge to this mellow dark chocolate with fresh hints of green banana and tart, sour notes of red currant. The sweetest of the Cluizel single estate dark chocolates.

Michel Cluizel of France

Often referred to as 'The Goldsmith of Chocolate', Michel Cluizel is one of the finest chocolate makers in the world today. Creating superior quality chocolates since 1947 and as a true 'cacaofevier' (bean to bar maker). Producing single origin chocolate bars & gifts made with only high quality, pure ingredients, without vegetable fats and using only 100% cocoa butter and Bourbon vanilla pod in replace of flavouring.

I really rate this bar. Full of fruit and acidity like black-currents (or red currants as the tasting notes suggest). It has the acidity in this bar that I really like to find and I'm not suprised at all it won a award. The best chocolate to date IMO although I have a few more to try. I didn't get the green banana when I tasted it but certainly all the tart fruitiness and an edge of spice. Highly recommended for those of you that like to take your time and suck your chocolate :) You know what I mean.

Absolute perfection!

I adore this bar from Michel Cluizel. It is my favourite so far of the single estate bars. I also tried the Mangaro but personally much prefer the fruitless of this bar. The tart element, accurately identified as similar to redcurrant, really counters the delicate sweetness. I find some dark chocolate to be too mellow or too bitter, whereas this is really lively on the palate and definitely for those who enjoy notes of red berries in their chocolate. Trouble is, now nothing else will do, so I have an expensive habit to maintain! On the upside, it's full of antioxidants and good quality dark chocolate has been scientifically proven to contain more antioxidants gram for gram than fruit, so it's officially a health food ;) I exercise daily, so I figure I deserve a little piece of chocolate heaven too :) Everything in moderation....;)
